5 What s On The Horizon? ASBA 2017 Annual Cargo Conference ASBA will return to the Eden Roc in Miami Beach, Florida for our 15th Annual Cargo Conference. We have again booked rooms in the spectacular Ocean Tower. Our meet & greet opening reception hosted on September 27 and our September 28 dinner cruise up the Intercoastal on the luxurious Biscayne Lady yacht are designed to give our delegates the opportunity to get to know each other in casual surroundings. We have gathered an excellent group of speakers who will address the question, What s On the Horizon? They will share their views on market trends in both the tanker and dry cargo trades. Delegates will enjoy presentations on strategic cargoes that include Grain, Fertilizer, Steel and Sugar. This year s Tanker discussion panel is supported by key industry principals followed by dry cargo principals who will explore owners issues including vetting and quality control. The Friday morning panel, providing the latest on Columbia River: Economics and Logistics, View of Ship Finance, Ship Agency, and Market Trends, should prove timely and informative. We look forward to seeing you in Miami!
